Recently the Yankees have had a string of walk-off hits (A-Rod, Cano) and have just been showing why they are the best team in baseball. Struggling players have begun to heat up; Teixeira is batting well and Sabathia is getting more and more dominant in the heat. Even Javi Vazquez is playing well, I still miss Melky though. This team reminds me of last year’s team so much; slow start but as the season goes on we show toughness and become impossible to beat. I’m very glad we DIDN’T get Cliff Lee…it would mess up our great chemistry and we don’t need pitching right now. We would’ve lost our prized Triple A catcher Jesus Montero and Lee is a free agent after this season. I have no doubt the Bombers will get him after this season. It’s time for NY fans and front office alike to show some patience and give Joba and AJ Burnett time to get back on track. Joba is a lost soul in the bullpen. He’s making the people in favor of starting him look just plain silly. AJ is inconsistent but it has never been this bad. His 4.75 era and 7-7 record is completely unacceptable for what we’re paying him.

I can’t wait to get Nick Johnson back next year; if we had him right now we’d be unstoppable. I’m so happy for Swisher that he made the All Star team and Home Run Derby. He is a quality person and deserved this success. For a second there Kevin Youkilis overtook him, but being that Youkilis is the single most annoying player in the league, Swish retook the lead.
